Taking the Fun out of Toys ‘R’ Us
Afishionados,
Whilst on a mission to find a bubble maker for my 2 year old niece, my quest took me to Toys ‘R’ Us, where I happened upon this sign. What has the world come to? Back in my day, one could pack as much heat as they wanted when they went shopping for toys. If a kid tried to grab the last of the cool action figures that you wanted, you didn’t use strong words or try to talk reasonably with him. Hell no, you blasted the sonovabitch with your sawed-off shotgun! Well, at least until you were old enough to carry a fully automatic weapon. Still, you made your point.
Oh, and unlike the last time, the door actually did open automatically.

Let’s face it, a guy that is willing to carry a firearm with him wherever he goes, isn’t going to pay one damn bit of attention to that sign. Hell, he might even shoot it.

Back when I was a kid, you could buy realistic looking fake guns at Toys R Us

mike: I love how so many people pushed to pass a concealed weapon law in Ohio, but there are no places where you are allowed to actually carry it once it was passed.
Joey: If I eat a lot of spicy food, I sometimes get a Recto de Fuego.

Can’t wait until my kid crawls out of Wifey. Then it’ll be nothing but trips to ToysRUs for me (and changing diapers for her).

AngryMan: Just make sure you’re packing heat when you shop.

Ahhh … recto de fuego …
Yeah. You coud always shove a fire hose up there, but I dont necesarily reckommend that.

I make it a policy to always have a weapon in reach. I mean, someone could come up and try to talk to me. I don’t want anything to do with that.

Heres a travel-size remedy for recto de fuego.

Chances are your state has a concealed handgun permit.
The only way to get around it is to post “NO GUNS ALLOWED” then it is illegal to carry your concealed handgun (and permit) into a location.
It just means that Toys R US Hates the 2nd amendment and the Constitution as a whole.
